This time, I'd like to share some classes now I'm taking in Goldsmiths with you.
Since we came to the UK, soon 2 months will pass, and our classes have done half of this semester. Unlike other countries, the UK system(not sure all of universities, though) is 3 semester, so we are now at autumn sem, and next spring, finally summer. Each semester has 10 classes. Spring and Autumn semester has a week off in the middle of a semester called reading week, so now short break time was done.
About reading class, as i wrote before, we are studying the subjects based on philosophy, religion, or Arts. for the last 5 classes, we were studying philosophy, like Aristotle, Plate's thinkings which are totally new are for me. The main aim of this class is of course to improve reading skill, but we also have time to share our opinions which enhances speaking skill since the class size is not big like 15 students.
About writing class, mainly we are studying the skill for summary. The skills which I'm studying now in the class are not so much useful because I've already learned before, but still homework, for example this week we have to write the introduction about Culture is ordinary, which Raymond Williams said, is very nice for me. I'm going to a library and find an article about it, and have to take out some information as citation. It takes lots of time, but at the same time, having fun so much.
About speaking class, basically we are doing presentation. First, we talk about a topic decided by teachers, like illegal download, or censorship, and then watch the video about the topic, and a following week, do presentation in turn. In another class, they are doing debate, as in they are divided into 2 groups, and if you're part of a group against for a topic, you have to argue why you disagree with it.
And in listening class, we are listening as much as possible. As homework, we're given some listening task, and supposed to not only listen but also write summary of these tasks. Each listening task is a bit long, ten mins, so to summarise it is kinda hard work. Topics are something like immigrants, or Social networking.
yes, these are basic information about the classes now we are taking here as languages courses. Next time we'd like to share not language classes but major courses, Media, Arts, and Social Science.
